And So It Begins... Hopefully

So... I applied for this program to teach English in S. Korea for a year, and I think, I really think I'm going to get into the program. I'll know for sure in a matter of days.

So hence, the blog. What?? You still don't understand why I am starting a blog? Okay, I'll break it down for you:

1) I think it will be a great way to record all of my adventures and mishaps, which I can look back on later and laugh/feel bad about.

2) This way, my family and friends can have peace of mind knowing that clearly I am NOT dead, since I have just recently posted my latest experience of getting lost.

3) I like to do research before I go anywhere, and you will not believe how hard it was to find information on Black women living in South Korea. Damn near impossible! So this will be another rare and valuable resource for the next poor soul who is spending countless hours on the internet looking for information about foreigners living in another country.

Anyway... I hope those were enough reasons to convince you that I do indeed have a reason for creating a blog. :P


Oh we like lists, do we? Well how about a list of reasons why I want to go to Korea?

1) My minor is Korean Language& Literature (There was no Korean major!), so I figure this will be some nice first hand experience with the language and culture.

2) It's almost like a free vacation from college- I only work 3 hours a day, so I'll have a lot of free time on my hands, and my accommodation is provided so I won't be homeless. Yay!

3) I seriously need a break. There is so much drama in my life here which is causing me so much stress-- family drama, man drama, KeAndrea drama... My life is practically a Korean drama! Why, it's enough to make a girl just wanna pack up and move all the way to the other side of the globe. Wait... that's what I'm trying to do.

4) I have a serious case of Yellow Fever. No need to go into detail on that. Suffice to say that those Korean mothers better lock up any handsome sons they have :P


Well it has taken me forever to set up this blog more or less the way I want it (for now), so I'm gonna cut this short and go ahead and send my first post on this blog out into the world.... I'll try to update as often as possible-- unless I don't get accepted into the program, then I might be too embarrassed to post that, so I might wait for awhile until I stop crying and until I synthesize some happiness and end up telling myself that 'it wasn't really meant to be', and 'I'm sooo much happier here in America.' Bullshit- I really wanna go to Korea.
